Birth story

My water broke on 12/28 at 3am.
I got up to get ready for work. Went to the bathroom and was walking back to my room when I felt this pop and water ran down my leg. I was like um.... ok... so I went to my room to change. Squatted down to get my pants off the floor and the rest of my water broke. I was admitted to Mercy Mother Baby at 4:30am. I sat for 8hours. My body never started contractions so they started pitocin. After 17hours of laboring on the pitocin. I was at 6cm dilated. I asked for the epidural. After 4 hours of being on that. They were waking me up to check me and the nurse looked at us and said "I have to go call the dr. He is crowing." 15min later my Lucas was born.
